    Hi guys, Sorry for this delay but I've been forgetting to update you about my evolution. Here you can have some pictures that I took today, two years after the first surgery. I have to reach Dr. Ferreira again to make a decision weather we do a final intervention or not, but I haven't been able to meet with him due to my professional life. I'm still very pleased with my results, even though the crown is not completely covered, but that was always going to be an issue due to the extent of the area and the grafts left. But nonetheless I'm still happy with the results and continue to recommend Dr. Ferreira without a doubt. If I'll have any new information or evolution on my case I will try to update you guys.

    I understand what your are saying looking at the pictures and Dr Bruno also told me that a third intervention could be a possibility to correct some spots (on the frontline or on the crown), but we should never forget that not all the grafts survive, and I'm not an exception. With that being said, right now I'm happy with the results and on a daily basis with a normal light (not this strong photoshoot kind of light right above me) the frontline looks way more covered. Besides this, I haven't done a full year yet and I think the results will be better on the months to come. On the next post I will try to take some "normal" photos to exemplify what I'm saying.

    The doctor strongly advises us to take Finasteride to stop the hair loss even before the first surgery and is something to be taken for the rest of our lives, because it strongly contributes for the stoppage of the hair loss. He also recommended me to take Ecophane to help the hair grow healthier and faster.

    Hi Guys, First of all I'm sorry for this 7 month gap between posts, but in my opinion you have a stronger and clearer impact of the results this way, instead of seeing pictures of me every month, because you only have real results of the surgery 1 year after the intervention. On the 1st of December I did my second intervention to cover my crown. About the surgery and Dr Bruno's (and his team) competence and brilliance, I really don't have nothing more to add beyond what I said on the first post. His aesthetic sense and his technique is unique, the surgery was painless like I was expecting (I even fell asleep) and as you can see the donor area couldn't be more clean after the surgery. The nights were better on this second surgery, because I like to sleep sideways and that's the better position to sleep after you do your crown, and all the recovery was easier because it was not the first time that I was doing it. I implanted a total of 3.188 grafts, with 2.76 ratio between hairs/grafts. About the first surgery (11 months ago) I think the results speak for themselves. Personally, I'm more than happy with my frontline but more than me, my friends and family are constantly surprised (in a good way) when they see me. The last two months, for example, I didn't see many of my friends and the last time they saw me (two months ago) I was with a shaved hair. On the last few weeks they finally saw me with my hair grown and the reaction is always amazing and everyone looks very surprised and shocked (again, in a good way) with my results because the difference is clear. And for me this is the proof that I'm reaching my goal because one thing is your perception when you look in the mirror every day. Another is when someone that only sees you from time to time, because their impact is bigger. Now we will wait another 10 to 12 months to see the final results and only after that we will decide if we do a last intervention just to cover any spot that didn't grow as we planned, but should be a small intervention because I'm reaching my limit in terms of donor area. Like I said in the first post, the objective of the pictures that Dr Bruno took is to show clearly the implanted area with a bright light and a combed hair with hairbrush or with the hair wet, which sometimes can deceive the result or the perception because as you can see on my last photos (11 months/3 months) when I'm using my daily hairstyle the frontline is almost completely covered (and will be even more on the next months). Hope you enjoy!

    I'm not the best person to give you feedback about this manner because my case was different. I had the first meeting with him and after that I waited a little bit to schedule my transplant, because I wanted to do it in the winter. What happened was that by the time I wanted to schedule it he was already with the next 3, 4 or more months completely full. I was about to give up and schedule it for this next winter, but I got lucky. I told Dr Bruno to contact me if there was some last minute cancelation from any patient, and that was what really happened. So on April I did my transplant. What I can say is that Dr Bruno has gain more and more notoriety around the world and from now on it's going to be harder and harder to schedule with him, which is a proof of his amazing work. I remember that right after my first surgery I scheduled my second one to this November (2021) and I got the impression that he already had patients for those months at the end of the year.

    I had an appointment with him at the clinic, but this was a year and a half ago. Right now he's probably with more and more patients, but like you said, it's still worth the wait. Try again to get in touch with him.

    We estimate a total around 8000 grafts

    I don't let my hair grow as much as I did before the surgery. I did it because Dr. Bruno likes to have it as big as possible. I think he likes this so that he can understand how the hair grows and fits your head, so he can draw everything in the most natural way. In the pictures the hair is pulled back on purpose so we can see all of the bald area. It was done on purpose. The objective of those shots and that combed are not to make you pretty, but to emphasize the baldness. It's true, I'm way better with my head shaved than I was after the surgery. The thing is, I was always afraid of shaving my head because I always felt that my head was too big and that it wasn't going to be a good result. But I was wrong my whole life. I really like the shaved look and it will become even better after the second surgery.

    Hi guys, I did my hair transplant 3 months ago and decided to come here to share my experience with Dr. Bruno Ferreira and show you my results since the surgery. Since 2015 that I started to become more bald year after year and the idea to do a hair transplant started to grow more and more in my head. In 2020 my brother decided to do a hair transplant with Dr Bruno Ferreira and that was the trigger for me to do it too. We decided to do two surgeries. I did this first surgery (April 2021) in two days, totaling 3.653 grafts, with 2.55 ratio between hairs/grafts. For me was an easy choice to do it with Dr. Bruno for a couple of reasons. My brother did his hair transplant with him a year before me and this allowed me to follow step by step his process and his recovery since day one, and I got to say that right after his first surgery (he did two) I could understand why Dr. Bruno Ferreira was the right fit for me, as I explain below: One important aspect for me was the guarantee that the surgeon was responsible for the two phases of the surgery (extraction and implantation), instead of an assistant/nurse. And Dr. Bruno does exactly that. He is present and executes all the way through, from the beginning til the end of the surgery; The hair line for me had to be the most natural as possible and for me this is another key factor that makes Dr. Bruno unique. His aesthetic sense is out of this world and I think it's a detail that separates a great hair transplant result from other not so great. He probably spent 20-30 minutes drawing in my head before the surgery so that everything was perfectly balanced and this is probably the main compliment that people gave me until now, about my transplant. We decided not to bring the line too much down because I wanted to balance a good frontline coverage (first surgery) with the rest of my crown (second surgery). I have to say, I'm very pleased with the results; The surgery is painless and Dr. Bruno and his team have a special attention to it. I remember that one of the first things Ricardo (Dr. Bruno's nurse) told me right after my arrival to the clinic, was that the objective of the surgery wasn't to hurt the patient in any circumstances and if I feel anything during the surgery, I should warn them right away. Dr. Bruno's way of giving the anesthesia is almost pain free, I just felt the first needlesticks. Every time I felt anything during the extraction or implantation, I warned him, and he gave me more anesthesia right away; Another thing that came as a surprise was the environment created by Dr. Bruno and his team during the surgery. From the music that was playing, to the funny jokes between them, a feeling of relaxation and calmness was created in the room which allowed me to be very relaxed and even fell asleep during the surgery; During this process I always felt accompanied by Dr. Bruno and his team. One unique feature he makes available for his patients is the possibility to talk with him and send him pictures via WhatsApp and he always tries to answer you on that same day. This is very useful because after the surgery, during the first months, you have a lot of questions and doubts, and this proximity permits that he can control the process of the air fall during the first and the second month; Finally, the post-op and recovery. The first two nights were strange, because you are always sleeping worried about your head and trying not to move too much. But I got to say that I was expecting a worst recovery. I didn't feel any pain, my face and forehead didn't swell and I personally didn't feel to much itch during these months. Besides this, as you can see in the pictures, Dr. Bruno's technique is so advanced that he leaves your head "very clean" after two days of surgery. Not only the implanted area, but also the donor area which was a big surprise for me. Finally, you leave the clinic with everything you need for the first crucial 15 days: they gave me shampoo, aloe vera, all kinds of products that you'll need for the first two weeks. Below you can see my results of the first two and a half months. Right now the transplanted hair is still growing. If you have any question don't hesitate and talk to me.
